Pan d’arancio
Pan d’arancio
Pan d’arancio, also known as Orange Bread, is a delightful Italian citrus-flavored cake. It is typically made with fresh orange juice, zest, and sometimes even slices of orange to give it a burst of bright, tangy flavor.
Ingredients
- 2 large oranges (for juice and zest)
- 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 4 eggs
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- pinch salt
- Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
- Zest both oranges, making sure to avoid the bitter white pith. Set aside the zest.
- Cut the oranges in half and squeeze out the juice. Set aside ½ cup (about 120ml) of the juice for the cake batter.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and granulated sugar until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Slowly add the vegetable oil while continuing to whisk the mixture.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the egg-sugar mixture, whisking until you have a smooth batter.
- Add the orange zest and the reserved orange juice to the batter, mixing until everything is well incorporated.
- Pour the batter into the greased cake pan and smooth the top.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan before transferring it to a serving plate.
- Optional: Dust the top of the cake with powdered sugar for a decorative touch.
